I was thinking about how some people are open with their emotions while others keep them inside, and I’m trying to figure out what’s better. Sometimes I wish I could put a little sign on my head that says, “Leave me alone! I’m in a terrible mood!” In cases like that, advertising your feelings could be good. Of course, if you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings by telling them how hideous you think they look, it’s probably not a good time for complete emotional honest.

Men take a lot of flak for being poor communicators, but the fact is more communication sometimes just leads to trouble, especially in romantic relationships. It’s important not to nit-pick. It helps us become tolerant, and it prevents a lot of fights.

So what do you think: total honesty or discretion? Utilize your personal strategy in formulating your answer.
